The Melbourne Leader describes a new
process of curing bacon, called the raico
process, introduced by a Mr. Vecht at
Sidney. The pig is ecalded in the ordi
nary way, and ' then tne unopened car
case is hung on a troilev and rushed
into the fierce flames of a furnace,
whence it comes oat in a black and blis
tered mass, it then goes through a cold'
water dip, and the two outer skins are
removed. : This removes the sweat
glandsof the pig, than which nothing
can be more filthy, containing matter
akin to nric acid, and 75 per cent, of
these glands contains living organisms
v Thts process removes with them all
foulness, and the layer of fat next the
skin having been melted in, the furnace,
saturates the thin, paper-like inner skin,
and when suddenly cooled hermetically
seals the pig. Such bacon can never be
come rancid.
The pig is now cut in two and the
spine entirely removed, allowing the
serum to escape and the cool air to play
around the flesh. Then salt is applied
at a temperature which makes the active
part of chloride of sodium inoperative.
Otherwise, the chloride would dissolve,
mix with the albumen and run away,
taking with it the most valuable con
stituent of the treat. Ordinary ,bacon
shows only .5 per per cent, of albumen,
while the new process shows .19. The
new system also 'makes the bacon im
pervious to the jumper fly, which, ow
ing to the albumen, cannot get in to lay
its eggs.
Activity In Mine.
The retro-active amendment to
the, Dingley bill will not pass, and,
indeed, it was never intended that it
should. It was simply proposed to
prevent importers taking advantage
of the present tariff laws to import
goods in advance of the Dingley bill
becoming operative, and as it failed
to accomplish that purpose, it will be

' James A. Howard, of Howard, Lath
rop & Co., who has been in Baker City
on business for the firm, says there is an
air of life that impresses a visitor to that
town immediately npon arriving.
"And," continued Mr. Howard, "con
versation with reliable men and men . of
affairs and intimate knowledge of the
city's and county's condition, carries the

The mining interests undoubtedly ara
giving Baker City a high degree of pros
perity. Business there shows the iuflu
ence of the magic touch of the gold min
ing excitement, and the faces of all are
expressive of hope and expectation of
prosperity. There is a constant activity
and much actual work, while in prospect
are many legitimate enterprises that
will probably be opened up for profita

wealth in that county, and it is receiv

Powder River Booming
Baker City ia experiencing a flood,
Powder river having gone wild. All the
bridges across the stream in the city but
one had gone out by Tuesday morning,
and the Democrat of that dale said that
one was liable to go at" any moment.
The. water fell slightly Mondav after
noon, but in the evening it was again
rising, and before morning it' had
reached the highest punt. The
Sumpter' Valley railroad is entirely
under water, and it is thought much of
it has been totally destroved. The
pemocrat closing a long article on the
flood situation, says: "When, the end
will come, no one knows. The snow in
the high atttitudes has only just com
menced to melt, and the weather will
have all to do with the result.
In the laet issue .of the Scientific
American is an article on the grandeur
of the Columbia river, and its scenery,
from the pen of Mr. H. H. Shank, of
Hageretown, Md., in which he says:
'The traveled American whose journey-
inga have not been confined to the Old
World, but include (as they seldom do)
a. tour among the natural wonders of his
native land, ia impressed with the in
consistency of those people who roam,
year by year, among the mountains,
lakes and rivers of Europe, and neglect
the natural beauties of their native land.
Majestic and impressive as the Alps may
be, they do not lift their heads any more
grandly . than the summits of the
Sockfes, the Cascades ' or the Sierras.
and nowhere are they clad witn such a
wealth of noble verdure as ia spread
about the base of our Western moun
tains. The Bhine may eeem to aweep
in stately fashion beneath beetling cliffs
and hills that eoar loftily above the
waters, but in the presence 'of the awe
inspiring heights and depths and chang
ing shadows of the gorge of the Colum
bia river, the Rhine-becomes an insig
nificant memory, and the. mind's' sense
ot dimension ia baffled in. the effort to
take in this indefinitely greater, nobler
and more majestically beautiful Rhine-
of our native land." .. s
Mr. Simons, of the Portland General
Electric Co., ia expected here tomorrow.
It is stated that this : company will pnt
in a large plant at Lyle, and that power
will be furnished for an electric road
from Lyle, by way of Goldendale to Col-
mbus. While this is only a rumor,
there eeema to be some foundation for it,
and it la quite within the range of possi
bility that the railroad may be built. If
so, a line of boats would be put in to
connect with it at Lyle. There is also
rumor of a railroad to be built from
this city to the Deschutes, but for that
there seems to be lesa foundation.
Under the new time card, which goes
into effect tomorrow, trains will move as
follows:
No. 4, to Spokane and Great Northern
arrives at 6 p. m., leaves at 6:05 p. m
No. 2, to Pendleton, Baker City and
Union Pacific, arrives 1 :15 a. m.', de
parts 1 :20 a. m.
No. 3, from Spokane and Great North

No. 1, from Baker City and Union Pa
cific, arrives 1 :20, departs 1 :25 a. in.
Noa. 23 and 24, moving east of The

Lumber for Scotland.
At the D. P. & A. N. wharf ia a pile
of yellow pine lumber cut at the mille
near Trout Lake,' in Klickitat county,
that ia a credit to any country. There
ia 2,200 feet of it, and it ia to be shipped
to Glaegow, Scotland. A short time
since six logs were rafted from the White
Salmon to Portland, where they were
sawed into ' boards or "deal," and the
lumber wilT be shipped to New York
and thence by the Anchor' line to Glas
gow. The. lumber here, which' was
brought up from White Salmon by the
D. P. & A. N., will be loaded with that
from Portland. ' It is probably the first
shipment of lumber ever made from the
Northwest across the continent and then
bv Eteamer across the Atlantic.
